Hello fellow researchers, >From some of the very interesting accounts and boigraphies I have been reading about the Civil War, many soldiers from Waukegan were involved in the battle at Chickamauga, some were killed and some were wounded. Can anyone tell me if there is an account of the battle anywhere on line please? Also, is there a site where I can order birth and death certificates for Illinois please? I am not sure of when Civil Registration came into effect in that State. Happy Hunting to one and all, Jean in Victoria, B.C. Canada.

Jean, There are several Civil war sites that give loads of info. I think the state of Illinois has one that gives rosters by county--can't lay my hands on it at present. Check these out while I look further for the above mentioned site: National Park Service General Site http://www.nps.gov Details on Civil War and other Battle Fields--(part of NPS) http://www.2.cr.aps.gov/abpp/index.htm Civil war Rosters--Arranged by state www.geocities.com/area51/Lair/3680/cw.htm Search for soldiers www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.html >From these sites I have found diary excepts from soldiers, old letters as well as rosters. They even list the members of the band.
